Hamza: Strictly Birds of Prey

We were delighted that the recent BBC One programme created by Hamza Yassin, “Hamza : Strictly Birds of Prey” approached Wildland to capture hen harriers within the Cairngorms.

We pride ourselves on the protection, and conservation of the land, the animals and the communities across our estates, so to see one aspect of the 200 year vision being celebrated, created a real sense of pride for us all at Wildland.

Our fellow Wildlander Ronan Dugan, who is part of the conservation team, who undertook the count, says;

“It has been a unprecedented season for hen harriers in Wildland Cairngorms with 11 successful nests rearing an estimated 41 chicks. This is a true testament to our dedicated landscape scale habitat restoration work on the ground that we are now seeing the recovery of a threatened species such as hen harriers.”

If you missed the show when it originally aired, you can watch it On Demand in the UK via BBC iPlayer or through the following link.

We hope that you will be inspired to see these magnificent birds thriving in Wildland Cairngorm.
